Enterprise.
We understand the officers of the
Washington County Agricultural and
Mechanical Society have determined to
offer the grounds of the Society for sale
and propose to have no more fairs.
Surely those gentlemen are making q
mistake when they reach such q conclu
sion. Surely the time has not come
when our county, the Oldest in the State,
can offer or will attempt to take n step
backwards. 1t has been conceded by
many that the annual exhibitions held
at our fair grounds have not only been q
credit to the county, but have been equal
and perhaps superior to those of any
other county in the State. The wonder
full improvement in the stock of oul
county, and especially in the cattle, sine,
the establishment of our fairs, to som,
extent, indicates the good that has beer
accomplished on this line. But the goo(
results are not only seen in the improve
ment of stock but. in all departments o
agriculture. The greatest good resultin!
from these annual gatherings is one o
much superior character to those t
which we have referred. They were :,
kind of reunion party, where the peopl
of the county, and especially the agri
cultural part ofeur citizens, gathered AM
had a pleasant time shaking hands an
breaking bread together and thu
strengthening the social ties of u PEG
pie, The law ssmple for the protectioi
of these annual gatherings and all tina
is necessary TO have good order is I
have the laws enforced. Have officer
who are willing to do their duty-who wi
make NO difference between individual
give all the same protection and re
quire all to behave,
